Tesla made a massive Tesla coil back in the early 1900's which could provide wireless electricity for a short distance around the coil.
lolz, i wonder how many lab assistants developed cancer from this^

why is wireless electricity really useful at all... ? Wouldn't it be rather dangerous and unreliable lol? I mean we have cables strong and lengthy enough...
it is dangerous, just another means of us all killing ourselves a little bit quicker, as far as microwave principles go, and transmittal of electrical power through any type of radio waves, this is how we pop popcorn, and defrost that block of ground beef when we wanna make hamburger helper...hence, this is what we would do to ourselves. also, trying to effectively channel that power over the airwaves is just going to cause more distortion and interference to the massive amounts of other bullshit we're already putting in the air. there are plenty of means of generating electricity using the elements that we live around, wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and lets face it, the human race has gotten good and goddamned lazy enough, we should focus our efforts on more worthy research, such as curing diseases like cancer, which were partly spawned by silly experiments like this one.
